Our Approach

Your farmers. Naturally.

Our philosophy is simple. We are committed to providing our animals with an environment that will allow them to naturally express the uniqueness of their species. Pigs can be pigs. Chickens can be chickens. Turkeys can be turkeys. Cows can be cows. Horses can be horses….You get the idea! . We only feed Non-GMO feed to our animals with the goal of eventually producing as much of our own feed as practical. “You are what you eat” applies to animals as well and we want to ensure that they are given the proper nutrition, which aides in their health and doesn't require the use of antibiotics. We are also committed to ensure that when the time comes for them to be processed, it will be done in a humane and ethical manner in accordance with applicable government regulations.

Our Story

We are a multigenerational family farm based in beautiful North Glengarry, ON. The original patent for the land that we farm was granted in 1796. Our ancestors acquired four 100 acre lots. We farm 196 acres, (4 acres now form the Kirkhill United Church property), of the original 400 acres, and the other 200 is still farmed by MacGillivrays as well. Historically the farm was farmed in what we now term “organic”, but in recent history has been farmed “conventionally”. We are now in the process of converting the farm “back …to the future”. We are doing this by using permaculture based designs to create a regenerative type model. We hope to not only improve the land, but our community and the environment as well.

"Regenerative organic agriculture improves the resources it uses, rather than destroying or depleting them. It is a holistic systems approach to agriculture that encourages continual on farm innovation for environmental, social, economic and spiritual well being." ​
